Newcastle United took a major step to locking down a Champions League place with a barnstorming display in the capital to sweep West Ham aside.
Eddie Howe's team didn't have it all their own way as the home side threatened to take an early lead and then made things trickier just before the break but Newcastle always seemed to have a steady hand on the tiller. At times it was a joy to watch and while West Ham are a side in serious trouble the Magpies are a match for anybody in this type of sizzling form.
It's four wins in a row for the black and whites now and Europe will be a formality within weeks if they can keep it up.
